Summary:
"Los Ángeles, 1981. A sus diecisiete años, Bret está a punto de empezar su último curso de secundaria en Buckley junto a su exclusivo y sofisticado grupo de amigos: Thom, Susan y Debbie, novia de Bret, experimentan con el sexo, el alcohol y las drogas mientras aprovechan los últimos días de verano. Pero este sueño paradisiaco se desmorona con la llegada de un nuevo alumno: Robert Mallory es brillante, guapo y carismático, pero algo en él no encaja, y nadie más que Bret parece darse cuenta de que ese algo podría estar relacionado con la aparición del Arrastrero, un asesino en serie que amenaza a los adolescentes de la ciudad y a sus mascotas. El autor de American Psycho y Menos que cero nos brinda un emocionante y provocador viaje a su yo adolescente, un viaje cargado de un insaciable deseo sexual y de celos, obsesión y rabia asesina. Los destrozos es una absorbente historia sobre la pérdida de la inocencia y el complicado paso a la vida adulta, y también un vívido y nostálgico retrato de la década de los ochenta; una narración recorrida por el suspense, el terror, el erotismo y el inconfundible humor negro característicos de un autor que es el símbolo de toda una generación."--Publisher's description.
